Posted by Christine | August 30, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Clear guidance

Being a parent is the greatest gift in life and no one ever wants to be in the position where the other parent of their child is in a place where they don't feel safe having their child with them and having them be able to make (or stand in the way of you making) important decisions for them. When th...at day came for me, and I knew I needed to file for sole custody and knew I needed an attorney to help, I came to Ryan. He guided me clearly on being articulate my concerns and helped me to set realistic expectations for what to expect from the process. He knew what I was unwilling to waiver on, and guided me through the process of making the best decisions for my child. He spoke with opposing counsel and was able to negotiate thru all the open terms. In the end, I now have sole custody and know I could not have gotten through the process without Ryan.

Great Experience

Ryan was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He helped me through my divorce process and I have already recommended him to a close friend.

Divorce

Ryan was very supportive, helpful and informative. I originally filed in 2015 and cancelled proceedings to try reconciliation. I filed again in 2016 and Ryan helped me through all the steps and paperwork with information on what to expect.

Professional and caring

Ryan Riezenman handled my separation agreement. He was professional and compassionate from beginning to end. He was accessible throughout. I couldn't have been more pleased with my choice. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer for a divorce or seperation.

Posted by anonymous | December 05, 2016 | Divorce & Separation

Highly Recommended

I consulted with Ryan on my divorce papers. He reviewed my paperwork and advised me on what was in the best interest of my child and I. He was very knowledgable, helpful and compassionate. I was pleased with the services that Ryan provided and would definitely recommend him to someone else in my situ...ation in the future.
